Hello -- An anthropologist friend of mine is intrigued by Mr Usenet Smiley and his pals :-) and is told that somewhere there exists a complete list of them all -- and even scholarly papers on the these symbols and the broader subject of usenet customs and other bizarre social phenomena. Can anyone help me out with pointers or references or hints or clues or what-have-you? Many thanks.
